Letter From A Christian Citizen

I recently finished Doug Wilson's "A Letter From A Chrisitan Citizen". It is an answer back to Sam Harris and his book "Letter to a Christian Nation" (I wish!) where he attacks Christianity and how it is holding back society. Wilson's book is just a treat to read! He just takes Mr Harris's lunch money, pants and shoes and Mr. Harris is left naked. If you are going to try and take the athiest position any body can take your lunch if they understand presuppositional thinking.

Athiests are used to being fawned over by universities and adoring media so when they step out from this protective bubble where real Christians can take a shot at their inconsistant thinking it gets ugly, for them.

This is from Wilson's archives where he describes his role, like a bird picking off bugs from it's host, protecting it...

...But let me up the ante. Since we showing off our respective educations by referring to poets, let me modify Eliot's hippopotamus and make it a rhino. Christendom is an enormous rhino -- socially awkward, unsophisticated, non-academic, embarrassing, and what have you. I am a tick-eating Oxpecker bird, positioned by the ear, or on the rump, depending the strategic necessities, the time of day, and my particular mood. The atheists are very critical ticks, and they take delight in pointing out (often quite accurately) that the rhino is lumpy, clumsy, and short-sighted. They recommend a fitness regimen, urge the rhino to abandon its shape and become something more Euro-friendly. Methane is also an issue...

The book is a great, short, enjoyable read on how to take apart an athiests thinking. This link will take you to about 5 additional postings about his book from his Blog and Mablog site, it will give you an appetite for the book, you can get it new for less than 10 bucks at American Vision.
